Chapter 304Harriet was still frowning, but a smile lingered on her face."You wish!" she said, trying to break free from Delbert's restraint.However, before she could escape, Delbert intercepted her halfway.She ended up in his warm embrace and happily giggled."Let's see where you can run this time," said Delbert, tickling her waist."Ah, it's so itchy! Knock it off!" Harriet protested.She tried to claw at him but could not reach him. She looked frustrated."Alright!" Delbert smiled, satisfied with her plea for mercy.However, after being released from his embrace, Harriet didn't want to let Delbert off easily.She quickly pinched his cheeks and grumbled, "A payback for your tickling, you villain!"She forcefully pinched his face.Delbert frowned, but his eyes were full of indulgence.Seeing that she had deformed Delbert's face, Harriet raised an eyebrow and triumphantly smiled.When she had finally vented her frustration, Delbert wrapped his arm around her waist."S
Chapter 305Delbert saw Harriet's flushed ears and smiled.When Delbert turned his head, he saw Opal still standing there, sneaking glances at their every move.His brows furrowed as he stared coldly at Opal. "Didn't you say breakfast was ready? Why are you still standing here?" Opal left quickly and closed the door for them.Harriet and Delbert were left alone in the spacious bedroom. The ambiguous atmosphere returned, causing Harriet's blush to persist."Opal caught us once again, and I'm too embarrassed to go out," Harriet said awkwardly.Delbert patted her head and indulgently said, "It's alright! With me by your side, who dares to say anything?"Let's go and have breakfast before it gets cold."...Three days later, Delbert's injuries had almost healed, and it was time to deal with Shawn.He didn't want Harriet to accompany him on this dangerous journey, but she insisted on going."Go to the east of the city," Delbert instructed Cory once they got into the car.His l
Chapter 306Harriet suddenly felt that Delbert was just an ordinary person.He would go to great lengths to protect Milton's reputation, and he would swallow his pride for the sake of the family business.He wasn't as unstoppable as everyone imagined. If even he couldn't resist those conspiracies, then the Carlson family would fall.Delbert was the helmsman of the Carlson Group and the beloved grandson whom Milton had placed all his hopes on. He had to shoulder this great responsibility.Perhaps because Harriet's gaze was too intense, Delbert asked, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?""Because you are good-looking," said Harriet in a rising tone.Delbert wondered why Harriet was being so sweet that day.And he heard her heavy breathing."Delbert!" Harriet called out."Hmm?" Delbert lazily narrowed his eyes."No matter what happens this time, we'll face it together!" Harriet said. "As husband and wife, we are supposed to fight side by side. You're no
Chapter 307"Delbert is dead. Milton is old and weak. Shawn and Kenny are useless. How long can the Carlson family hold on? Sooner or later, we will divide it up," someone whispered.Harriet listened calmly."Delbert, have you offended a lot of people in the business world?" she asked.Delbert raised an eyebrow, seemingly unconcerned. "How do you know?"Harriet rolled her eyes.She could tell it from those people's discussions.Normally, the guests would feel heavy about the death of someone. When it came to Delbert's death, however, most of the people present gloated over it.Harriet wondered what Delbert had done that made these influential figures in Meawood City celebrate his death."Since I took over the Carlson Group, I took advantage of the downturn in the industry and merged with many small companies. It's normal for people to hate me," Delbert explained, afraid that Harriet would mistake him for a ruthless person."In the business world, survival of the fittest is al
Chapter 308When Delbert appeared with Harriet in the banquet hall, everyone was focused on Shawn "acting" on stage, and no one noticed them.It was strange, though, that Kenny was not present.Harriet couldn't figure it out, but seeing that Delbert didn't seem to care about it, she didn't say anything.On stage, Shawn continued to speak. "Originally, these are our family matters and shouldn't be talked about in front of everyone."But to prevent some small-minded people from saying that I am taking advantage of the situation to seize power, I have to hold this banquet and publicly disclose Delbert's will."Harriet leaned over to Delbert's ear and asked, "Did you write a will?"The fragrance from her soft body distracted Delbert."It's fake. I never wrote a will," he said, snapping back."So Shawn forged one?" Harriet said, taking in a sharp breath.She finally understood the lure of money. Compared to money, human lives were nothing.Shawn stood on the stage and read the co
Chapter 309"As for those who don't know you, why would they choose to believe you and offend the powerful Shawn? Regardless of whether you are Delbert or not, they would rather believe that you are dead. After all, your existence is a threat to them," Harriet said.Sure enough, Shawn's next words verified Harriet's statement."Excuse me, sir, who are you? Why did you come to disrupt my banquet?" he said.The guests started to whisper among themselves."Delbert is already dead. This person is definitely not Delbert, just someone who looks like him.""He is bold enough to cause trouble at the Carlson family's banquet.""He probably wants to get his hands on the inheritance left by Delbert. After all, it is the inheritance left by the president of Carlson Group. Who wouldn't be tempted?""But this approach is too crude."Delbert raised an eyebrow and approvingly looked at Harriet. "I didn't expect your analysis to be quite accurate."Harriet looked around and said, "Stop flatte
Chapter 310"That's absurd!" Shawn snorted.How could he not be able to invite Sean?Delbert was already considered dead by everyone, and he had no siblings. Milton was too old to take care of things anymore. In the end, the Carlson Group could only end up in Shawn's hands.How could a mere lawyer dare defy his orders?Harriet turned her head and whispered in Delbert's ear, "You're referring to your friend, right? But would Shawn use his position to threaten Sean?"Delbert remained composed. "Shawn won't be able to invite him. Besides me, no one in the Carlson family can invite Sean.""What a big tone!" Shawn gestured for the person beside him to make a phone call.After a minute, the person looked dejected. Shawn quickly found himself an excuse. "I guess there's something important that he wants to tell me privately."Then he hurriedly walked away to take the call.At that moment, Sean was holding a beautiful lady in his arms."Hello, Mr. Mitchell, this is Shawn," Shawn sai
Chapter 311"You're injured. You can't fight them head-on. Just follow me to escape!" Harriet said.Delbert's eyes flickered with amusement. "Aren't you so cute?"Just then, Sean was led into the banquet hall.As soon as he walked in, he saw Delbert and Harriet sitting there. He was about to greet them when he remembered the conversation earlier. He put on a serious expression and walked up to Shawn.Harriet was stunned, wondering if Sean had been bribed by Shawn.'But he is a close friend of Delbert, isn't he?' Harriet thought.Sean straightened his tie and casually sat down."Mr. Mitchell, you're finally here. Please tell them that this will is left by Delbert," Shawn exclaimed as he hurriedly walked over to Sean.As long as Sean promised to testify for him, this matter would be easily resolved. He had already instructed his men to explain the situation to Sean while they were on the car ride over. He hoped that Sean could be a wise man in this situation.The people around
